Maybe the better word is ... didn't felt like it passed minimum standard?
F90, Strike, 00, G-Self and Barbatos are nice because by looks alone one can consider it a finished, higher quality product compare to mass-produced. Only lack unique weapon.
Aerial doesn't gave similar impression other than 'the titular mecha'. Meanwhile Impulse is rare case given it doesn't take long for ZAFT themselves claimed it selling point on military forces is the gimmick compare to Abyss, Chaos and Gaia. So while it doesn't look nicely built compare to other protagonist mecha there's good reason why the design justified compare to other properly armored ZAFT machines.
Not the first time I saw that amount of gap; it kinda similar to Tauburn, Reshbal and Samekh from Star Driver which act as thruster(s) considering two of them are high-mobility mechs. By name Aerial probably goes with similar line of thought but leaving most of it visible really gave me impression of 'product that didn't pass safety check'.
Looking at the purple machine (that maybe the enemy) feet, seems like the focus will be space and aerial combat.
